BACK FROM THE EAST
A CHoTEAU MERCHANTS OPINION
AS TO OUR FUTURE.
No Reason why Great Falls Should not
be AZ Great Mining Center as
Denver--Spring Immi-
grafton.

Hale and hearty Jacob Schmidt of Cho
teau has arrived in town after long tour
to Chicago, Holyoke, Massachusetts,, and
Denver, Colorado. He says: Il found
everywhere great interest manifested in
Montana and you may look for a large in
fux of people next spring. The country
generally is prosperous. received cor
dial welcome in Holyoke, Massachusetts.
which is a busy, growing town largely en-
gagged in the paper manufacture. From
there PR ceeded all the way to Denver
Colorado. That city is doing well. The
streets are as crowded as in Chicago, and
some great buildings have been erected
which give the place a metropolitan look
Denver owes her success largely to the
mining industry. Her immense smelters
provide ready market for the ores OF
the mining regions, many of which are
over a hundred miles away. The city
also does large business with the min
ing camps. could see that Great Falls
may count on like prosperity when the
mining regions of Neihart and Barker are
developed and ore is brought here from
those places as we'll as from Marysville
and the Red Mountain mines''
Regarding Great Falls, Mr.. Schmidt
said:
There was much inquiry about Great
Falls. and everywhere | gave good re-
ports of the city. People were amazed
when told them of the wonderful water
power, the fine climate and the fertile
lands around us. | found the Manitoba
line admirably equipped, and I learned
from good railroad authority that it will
be the best paying road entering Montana.
Such is also my own opinion. for it runs
through fertile region with easy grades
and connects such growing places as Great
Falls, Helena and Butte directly and not
in a roundabout way. Choteau and all
northern Montana will derive great ben
eft from this great trunk eline which is
well managed, in fact much better than
the Union Pacific, which was five hours
late on my trip to Denver
Mr.. Schmidt is in fact, full of informa-
ton about the country in gene.al. He
says people asked him about the friendly
sentiments he expressed in regard to Paris
Gibson and councilman Collins in for
merinterview with the Tribune. He says
that he told them that he would stand by
what he said and that he admired strongly
the pluck and enterprise of Messrs. Glib
son, Collins and the people of Great Falls
in general.

METHODS OF TAXATION.

Our scheme of taxation, by means of

on importations from abroad and internal
revenue taxes levied upon the consump-
tion Of tobacco and spirituous and malt
liquors It must be considered that none
of these things subjected to internal reve-
nue. taxation are, strictly speaking, neces-
sary, and it SO appears to be no just cause

THE UNBLUsHING FRAUD.

But as the highest law making power
in the land has declared that millions of
acres of our richest agricultural lands arc
desert wastes, we must accept the situa-
ton and make the best of it. Although
we may ride day without finding an
acre OF land without "moisture or vegeta-
tion;" although we can see large herds of
cattle and bands of sheep roaming over a
thousand hills fat enough for the sham
bles; although we can find fields Of wheat,
barley and oats yielding ridh returns npon
lands guiltless of irrigating bitches; al
though we behold on every hand luxuri-
ant grasses and herbage and majestic trees
fleurishing without irrigation, yet we
must close our eyes to these facts, and like
citizens loyal and true, cry out, "great is
congress, and the desert land law is its
profit

AN UNFORTUNATE PIECE or CON
GREssIUNAL WORK.
The Live stock journal Defends Mon.
tana Against Peck, and Claims that
His FIocks Could not Fatten
ON Desert Land.

HELENA, December 4.-The Live Stock
Journal denounces the desert act and
states that the products of Chotean cnun-
ty and the Gallatin valley belle the as
sumption that Montana is mostly an arid
waste. 1t adds: 1T was very unfortu-
nate piece of congressional legislation
when Montana was included in the act
providing for the disposition of what are
called "desert lands.o The bill was origi-
nally gotten up in the interest of syndi
cate of California capitalists who wanted
to get hold Of the great arid plains in San
Buenaventura county in California and
the contiguous territory in Arizona, and
when it was altered so that its provisions
would apply to Montana and other terri
tories, it was more for the purpose of con-
cealing the real object of the measure
than to legislate a vast public domain into
q desert. For we hold that under the
common acceptation of the word desert, y
or its definition by the first photographers
of the world, there is not-save upon a
few of our mountain peaks-an acre of
@desert'' land in Montana, that is, as de-
fined, "a region destitute of moisture and
vegetation"

CONGRESS HooDW1NKED.

,
But in spite of a kind providence whe
has covered our plains and valleys and
mountain slopes with wealth Of luxuri-
GUS, nutritious grasses, which support and
fattsn countless herds, congress steps in
and by a call of the ayes and noes and a
scratch of the presidential pen, makes a
desert of millions of acres of our best
lands. Montana was not as well known
then as it is now. The members who
votetl for the bill doubtless received their
knowledge of this prolific territory from
the old school maps which designated all
the vast region of country lying west of
the Missouri river and stretching ont to
the Pacific ocean as the "Great North
American Desert"
